CORNlCE-POLE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 355,449, dated January 4, 1887.

Application filed July 3, 1886. Serial No. 207,050.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JOHN HARDY and WILLIAM N. CLARK, J12, of Brooklyn,in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Cornice Pole Brackets, of which the following is'a specification.

Cornice-pole brackets have heretofore been made in two or more parts, so that the cornice-pole can be set out at a greater or less distance from the window-frame. In these cases, however, it has usually been necessary to disconnect the bracket from the windowframe in order to move the cornice-support nearerto or farther from such window-frame.

In our improvement we make use of a bracket that is adapted to being fastened upon thewindow frame or casing independently of and separate from theextensible cornice-support, so that such support is not liable to become injured in fastening up the bracket, and the cornicepole can be set farther away from the casing or nearer to the same without making any change in the bracket itself, thus greatly facilitating the proper placing of the cornicepole to suit the drapery.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the cornice-pole bracket. Fig. 2 is a section at the line 000:, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the brace. Fig. 4. is a detached view of the screw-rod. Figs. 5 and 6 are elevations of modifications of the bracket portions, and Fig. 7 is an end view of the screw-rod.

The bracket is constructed in any suitable manner, so longas it is adapted to the reception-of our improved extension cornice-support.

We prefer, and have represented, the bracket as composed of the screw-rod A and the brace B for supporting the same, the portion A of the bracket being horizontal, or nearly so, and the brace B inclined, and in the bracket there is a hole at O. The bracket is to be secured to the wood-work by the screw 2 at the end of the rod A, and by a screw, 3,..pa'ssed through a hole at the lower end of the brace B, or said bracket may be secured in any other suitable manner. Through the hole 0 passes the extensible cornice-pole support E, the same be- (No model.)

ing in the form of a rod having a semicircular hooked end, 4., and screw 5 for receiving and holding the cornice-pole. At the other end of the extensible support is a clamping-slide, F, the same having a screw, 6, to confine the extensible support in any position to which it may be adjusted. It is generally preferable to make this slide in the form of a metal block with a hole through it for the reception of the inner end of the support E, and a bindingscrew, 7, passing through the slide, holds the end of thesupport and causes the said support and the slide to move together when the parts are made as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

This slide F is free to be moved back and forth upon the bracket-rod A when the screw 6 is slackened, and when the holder has been adjusted to the proper place it is clamped by the screw 6. g

It will be seen by the drawings that the end of the bracket-rod A may be turned up for the hole 0 to pass through it, as in Fig. 5, or it may be turned down, as in Fig. 6, and in this case the hole may pass through the down wardly-bent connection between the rod A and the brace B, as in said Fig. 6, or the end of the red A- may be bent up as an eye, as seen in Fig. 7, to form the hole 0, for the sup port E; but we prefer and use the form of connection shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4, in which the outer end of the brace B is bent vertically and flattened to receive the hole 0 for the pole-support E to pass through, and there is a slot, 9, extending from such hole which receives-the neck 10 of the screw-rod A, such red A being flattened at the neck to pass into such slot. The brace B can be used as a wrench in screwing the screw 2 into the woodwork, and after the parts of the bracket are properly in place, including the slide F, the rod of the'bracket-support E is to beentered into the hole 0 and into the slide F, and the latter and the cornice-pole support are. held in position by the one screw 6', and the rod E filli11g the hole 0 prevents the end of the bracket-rod A slipping out of the notch 9.

If desired, the bracket may be inverted so that the brace B passes upwardly instead of downwardly, and in that case the cornice-pole of the brace 13, the extensible cornice-support E; sliding through the hole 0, and the slide F, sliding upon the red A, and the CIAIDP'SOPOW 6, substantially as set forth.

ing the hole (3 and slot 9 near the end, and

support B will be partially rotated in the hole G to bring the semicircular end 4 in the proper position.

the notched rod A passing into the slot 9, in combination with the extensible cornicesupport E and clamping-slide F, substantially as set forth.
